Causes of coastal flooding

Aceh, Indonesia, 2004For all tsunami stuff, start at the USGS web page. These pages contain a mass of information, with maps animations and movie files. Tsunami formation is explained clearly, and there is an extensive report of a field visit to Sumatra in January 2005.The Guardian’s mini-site draws together all of the resources on the 2004 Indian Ocean Asian Tsunami. The BBC has a page with links to all of their resources and reports on the 2004 tsunami.Samoa and American Samoa tsunami, September 2009USGS web site has details here. The BBC has its usual detailed story, picture and links here.

Pan and scroll to see 1901 maps with recent aerial photography and how they relate.

There is a fader (change "transparency overlay") towards the bottom left of the browser window which allows you to see how the coastline of 1901 (ish) relates to that of today. Very interesting in the case of Studland.
